The reason I am fighting about this is because those jackasses lied to us and didnt let people work. I literally had to nearly lay off all of my staff because of this shutdown bullshit. People that couldnt go on unemployment and would have just been fucked. What I care about is the truth, not the propaganda and lies. I am not on one of your guys teams, I am person that likes to think for myself and actually look at facts not propaganda. The story above is obvious propaganda, and I will fight that whenever I see it.

What state do you live in where you can't go on unemployment if you're laid off? I got laid off from a part-time job during COVID and qualified for unemployment. And this is in Republican-dominated Indiana.

This sounds suspiciously like you're doing something underhanded with your employees.

Business might be fictional. They certainly don't care about facts or reality on this topic. Why would they limit the lies and cognitive biases only to the websites they're sharing?

Half the time these are 17-year-old middle-class white kids with no worries in the world, raging emotional hormones and a desire to "thrash someone with their incredible intellect" and have no real care for the issues beyond that, they just want to fight and they will lie to their last breath to feel like they're special and smart.

I really feel like if we could see who most of the people are who push back on so many modern social issues, we would have a lot fewer social issues, because we would be able to roll our eyes and close the door on these literal children who are turning every conversation into a debate with children.

gets shown some facts about masks and propaganda

"I am person that likes to think for myself and actually look at facts not propaganda"


That aside, the way small businesses were left hanging was definitely a political failure. I don't know what business you have or why you had to fire people, but I'll happily blame a lack of compensation for businesses that can't operate.

Okay but that addresses no part of my comment, why do you get mad when you see people wear facemasks? Isn't that kind of strange? Is it helping anyone?

Doesn't it make you feel manipulated to have others able to make you start having emotional reactions to things you see that you wouldn't have thought about before?
